    window.prettyPrint && prettyPrint();
    $('#birthday').datepicker({
        format: "DD, d MM, yy"

If the format attribute is not working. You can try something similar to this:

var dt = $('#dt').datepicker({format:'dd/mm/yyyy'}).on('changeDate', function(ev) {

   var newDate = new Date(ev.date);
   var year = newDate.getFullYear();
   var month = (newDate.getMonth()+1);
   var day = newDate.getDate();

   dt.setValue(day+'-'+month+'-'+year);
   dt.hide();

}).data('datepicker');

You are formatting your date by yourself. You can ignore the format attribute.
